I remember some old songwriting challenge, I think it would have been in 2008, in which the task was to make a song that was 20 minutes long? Some Australian guy hosted it I believe. I've still got my song, it's kinda cool.

I haven't come across that one. Post your song and a link to the thread if you find it.

Shall I just pm you with my missing entry or something?

Nah. Just download the thing, put yours in, reupload it and pass me the link.

Damn, I just missed the most recent one, right when I'm starting to play/write/sing again. (Though my vocals are not quite up to their former level.)

Three quick questions:

1) I've seen that people are allowed help from people off the site. What I'm wondering, is would it be possible for me to work with the people I normally work with, although we are technically more than one band? (Yeah, that's confusing. Think of a heavy metal version of the Elephant 6 collective, we play in each other's bands and there are different names for different styles/projects.)

2) If I write/arrange/design/ the solos (if any) and drums, but someone else plays them, is that acceptable? (Someone off the site, I would want to use the main lead guitarists from my two main projects (one is more death/black/grunge/Melvins (yeah, from my original everything heavy from the 90's melted band) the other is more death/grind/groove/Dimebag type)

3) Would I be able to later re-release the songs I do for it on my own? (Obviously with the permission of anyone on the board I would collaborate with.)

Here are 6 of the Challenge VII submissions I uploaded to youtube. I'm going to wait till vocals are done on mine to upload that, and I would like to wait for trigger to have someone redo his song, or redo it himself. Not trying to be a dick, I just want to represent you better since I know your songwriting and playing ability is great but the quality is just unbearable, for me at least.

Alright everyone, I'd like to voulnteer to host the next song challenge. I'll try really hard to get a song recorded. A new studio opened up in my town, so I might just bite the bullet and pay to have it recorded. Oh well. Anyone have ideas for a new challenge?

The leftovers idea is cool, but when do you think we should hold it? I think that we should wait for a few weeks and maybe start in late August/early September to allow for some time between challenges.

Alrighty fellows, September is coming around the corner, so lets get some stuff figured out. 1. Have we decided on the random theme/lyrics?2. Should we submit a few more lyrical ideas?3. Do we want to ad any other plot twists into the challenge?4. Do we want to scrap this one and start anew?

Hey, about the sixth Challenge from March/April, hosted by kingnuuuuuuuuur... To those who participated and/or listened to the results and enjoyed the submission by Devirginizer and me (Irrelevant, lyrics by guitartheist), and, last but not least, to those, if anyone, who care: more material has been written in the meantime and we named the project Omninihilist. Just to wear out the I in your keyboard. We're recording currently.

Cool, I'm looking forward to hearing it! That tune was cool and had me excited to hear more.

Nice! It'll be released on a split tape with Evagatio Mentis, which basically is the funeral doom version of Omninihilist. It's not as sinister though, and much more elaborate in terms of instrumentation.
